BermudAir’s Embracer E175 Aircraft will have seats with window and aisle access
On Aug. 24, BermudAir announced direct flights from Westchestser County Airport. The new boutique airline will begin flights starting Aug. 31, directly to Bermuda.
BermudAir offers a fleet of Embraer E175 aircraft with a standard 88-seat configuration. Only 44 seats will be sold for each flight – all with both window and aisle access and plenty of space for carry-on bags – ensuring a comfortable and spacious in-flight experience for travellers.
These new direct services offer travellers from these popular East Coast cities and surrounding areas greater access to Bermuda, providing a premium travel option with average flight times of around two hours.
“We are excited to launch BermudAir as Bermuda’s first carrier, maintaining our commitment to start filling seasonal service gaps and establish frequency of service to and from the island this fall,” said BermudAir Founder and CEO Adam Scott. “Our mission to elevate the travel experience for everyone and provide well-timed, traveller-centric, stress-free flights on these new routes is just the beginning. Establishing this year-round service is a first step in our journey to redefine the travel experience and we look forward to rolling out our phased introduction of BermudAir’s Aisle Class.”
All flights include free Wi-Fi and entertainment, and at least one complimentary checked bag (or more, depending on fare). BermudAir will provide a distinguished level of onboard service, offering travellers freshly prepared light meals and beverage selections from local partners on the island. The exceptional onboard experience and attentive service will be a signature BermudAir offering.
Following delivery of highly customized and game-changing seating suites on November 1, 2023, a first for a short-haul airline, BermudAir will usher in a new era of business class air travel with the introduction of Aisle Class, a seating concept that eliminates the aisle vs. window seat dilemma. From November, BermudAir’s E175s will be configured with just 30 seats to feature unmatched privacy and ample workspace, with only two spacious seats across from each other in each row. Travellers will be able to take advantage of under-seat stowage for a carry-on and personal item, in-seat power, plus free Wi-Fi, including Wi-Fi powered entertainment and messaging. The Aisle Class cabin, designed without the need for overhead bins, offers a light and spacious ambiance, facilitating a convenient and quick boarding and deplaning experience.
BermudAir is additionally committed to the local community through its dedication to sourcing services and partnerships within Bermuda, including the hiring of local crew, collaborating with Bermuda service providers for onboard food and beverage services, and sourcing local ingredients. The goal is to ensure the inflight experience reflects the island’s renowned hospitality with premium on-board menu offerings and attentive, friendly cabin crew.
“We are very happy to welcome BermudAir as Bermuda’s first carrier, as they work toward setting a new standard for travel,” said Wayne Furbert, JP, MP, Minister of Transport. “This partnership represents an exciting milestone for our island, as it enhances connectivity and strengthens our position as a premier destination. With BermudAir’s commitment to providing convenient connections, we anticipate a significant boost to our tourism market.”
“With the launch of a new airline in Bermuda, there’s a sense of anticipation and opportunity in the air. The increased air capacity aims to enhance the island’s connectivity and aligns with the National Tourism Plan’s “Year-Round” objective. By providing year-round flights, BermudAir offers new opportunities for us on the U.S. East Coast, paving the way for potential partnerships and market growth. It’s an exciting step towards sustained growth for Tourism in Bermuda,” said Tracy Berkeley, CEO of Bermuda Tourism Authority.
